Where I come from
I grew up in Belarus. I was a calm child, and a curious one: I wanted to know how everything worked and asked a lot of questions. At school my favorite subjects were math and physics, and I won school and city olympiads in both. As a teenager I read a lot of popular science, and I still spend my time learning whatever interests me.
Life now
I live in Miami with my wife. We've been together for ten years, and she knows about every family I work with. I'm an IT entrepreneur, which gives me a flexible schedule. That matters when the timing depends on your cycle.
Why I became a donor
I think having children is one of the most fundamental things a person does, and I wanted to take part in it in more than one way. Being a known donor is how I pass on what I was given, good health and a clear head, to people who want a child and can't have one on their own.
I'm not a co-parent and I don't want to be. But I'm always open to contact with you or your child, at any age, whenever you or they want it.
Health and habits
A healthy lifestyle is simply how I live. Every morning starts with 100 push-ups and another 30 minutes of exercise, and every day I walk for about an hour outdoors, among trees.
I eat healthy, organic food, with enough protein and carbohydrates. Sleep gets special priority, because I think good sleep is the foundation of good health, so I track my sleep and keep the bedroom cool at night. I don't smoke, drink alcohol, or use drugs.
I also do regular health check-ups and I'm ready to share the results: an FDA infectious-disease panel, an expanded genetic carrier screening and a semen analysis, shared exactly as the lab issued them, dates included.
Why work with me
Fully tested. FDA infectious-disease panel, expanded genetic carrier screening, semen analysis. You see the original lab reports, with their dates, as soon as you write to me.
A healthy way of life. No smoking, alcohol or drugs. Exercise every morning, an hour outdoors every day, organic food, and sleep as a priority.
Quite selective. I choose the families I help, and I turn down most requests, for one reason or another. What matters to me is that the parents are responsible, financially stable, and emotionally and physically healthy.
Siblings across families, if you want them. I keep a record of every family I've helped. If you want your child to know their half-brothers and half-sisters, they'll have good company: children from families chosen the same way, and parents who went through the same thing you did.
Always reachable. I stay open after the birth, not just before it. You can get in touch with me at any point, and so can your child, at any age. I'm open to that, and the choice is yours.
What I hope for
That the children who come from this grow up knowing exactly where they came from, and that it's never a secret or a mystery.
